EURGBP Bearish Pin Bar Update
Today we are looking at the EURGBP bearish pin bar setup that we first discussed in the commentary back on 5/24. This was a very good pin bar setup and now that it has played out over the course of the last couple of weeks lets go over why the setup was a high-quality price action setup.
